This study aimed to clarify flavonoids accumulation characteristics and their contribution to antioxidant capacity in wild type (WT) kiwifruit (Actinidia deliciosa) and three cultivated varieties (Xuxiang, XX; Yazui, YZ; Hongyang, HY). Integrating untargeted metabolomics and traditional biochemic...
During seed imbibition, lipids are engaged in membrane reorganization while facing free radical-mediated oxidative injury. In the present work, we explored changes in lipid components at different timepoints of imbibition (0.5, 2, 4, 6, and 8 h) in the legume Medicago truncatula, by combining bio...
Background: Parturition is a critical event in the reproductive cycle of dairy animals, accompanied by multiple physiological changes in sex hormones, metabolism, antioxidant capacity and immune function. However, the changes in the rectal microbiota and metabolic products of Jennies from late ge...
Lophosoria quadripinnata (J.F.Gmel.) C.Chr., a fern species from the Dicksoniaceae family, is widely distributed in Central and South America. This study aimed to identify the bioactive compounds in the aqueous extract of L. quadripinnata, evaluate its antioxidant potential through in vitro analy...
Lactobacillus has antioxidant properties that may benefit poultry production. However, there is no systematic research on antioxidant of Lactobacillus strain and its effects on regulating nutrient metabolism in aged laying hens. This study investigated the influence of Leuconostoc lactis on produ...
Zygostelma benthamii has been prized for its medicinal properties and is similar to ginseng. However, the specific chemicals in its various parts and their relationship to its therapeutic effects have not been thoroughly researched. Thus, we used a comprehensive metabolomics approach, LC-MS/MS an...
A hallmark of animals is the coordination of whole-body movement. Neurons and muscles are central to this; yet, coordinated movements also exist in sponges that lack these cell types. Sponges are sessile animals with a complex canal system for filter-feeding. They undergo whole-body movements res...
Global climate change has led to an increase in release of atmospheric CO2 and average daily temperatures, making heat stress a major challenge in dairy farming. The present study aimed to investigate metabolite changes of Holstein cows at different stages. In this experiment, 10 growing heifers,...
